Tyson Fury drops ANOTHER retirement U-turn hint as Gypsy King teases return to the ring amid calls for him to finally face Anthony Joshua
- Fury called it a day after suffering his second defeat by Oleksandr Usyk last year
- He has, though, since shared several social videos suggesting he could return
- Fans are clambering for Fury and Joshua to finally do battle inside the ring
Tyson Fury has dropped another retirement U-turn hint as the Gypsy King continues to tease his latest return to the ring.
Fury called it a day in boxing after his second defeat by Oleksandr Usyk in December last year, meaning he suffered his only two defeats of his career in his last two bouts -against the same person.
Fans were left with raised eyebrows with Fury having retired before, but the Gypsy King has since insisted that he truly is done for good at 36 years of age.
That may not be the case, though. Fury continues to share posts that could suggest he is going to return to the ring in the near future, including a number of posts of him keeping in shape in the boxing gym.
Now, however, he may have shared the biggest hint of all, taking to social media and sharing a small video of him and his dad, John Fury, who recently turned 60.
Both men were seen in suits, walking seemingly with purpose. It is what Fury said, though, that has caught the eye.
‘Business meeting today, dad,’ Fury said. ‘En route. Incoming, incoming.’
It remains unclear what the meeting was for, with the only other posts shared since snaps of John’s birthday party the night before.
Fury also triggered suggestions that he could be on his way to a return when he shared footage of himself training with boxing legend and long-time trainer SugarHill Stewart in the gym.
‘Just in the gym,’ Fury said in the social media post. ‘I just bumped into somebody you might know,’ he said before turning the camera to Steward. Steward said: ‘You know what is coming. You know what time it is.’
If Fury is to return, he would face calls to finally face off with long-time rival Anthony Joshua in an British heavyweight showdown.
Joshua is currently injury, but talk is growing of him potentially fighting Fury – though he would need his countryman to come out of retirement for that to happen.
‘I do [think it can be easily made],’ Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, recently told talkSPORT ‘In the past, it’s always been, one’s a champion, one’s a challenger.
‘Now, both guys are in a similar position. They’re coming off a defeat. Fury has two defeats, both by Oleksandr Usyk. They’re both still pretty much in their prime, and sometimes you don’t need the world championship belt.
‘Sometimes when you’ve got two champions trying to become undisputed, it’s a little bit cagey.’
